Don started as clerk for 7Eleven through the Southland Corporation, working up to Trainer and District Manager before the local stores were bought out by Circle K.

Those who knew him could attest to the fact that he had a selfless heart full of love. He always put others before himself, even while undergoing the pain of cancer. Don was a member of St. Louis Catholic Church in Waco and he always served the Lord. His favorite quote was "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
Don will always be remembered by his parents, Reinard and Georgia Kramer; wife, Tinker Kramer; daughter, Amy Ward and husband, Brandon Ward; daughter, Casey Kramer; daughter, Chelsea Kramer; son, Philip Kramer and wife, Leanne Kramer; granddaughter, Landree Kramer and grandson, Chance Kramer; brother, Ron Kramer and wife, Rita Kramer; niece and nephews, Kim, Justin, and Jason Kramer.
